Edwin Forrest.
From Joseph Jefferson's autobiogra
phy in The Century we quote the fol
lowing: Edwin Forrest, with all his
faults, lmd warm and generous impulses.
1 know of one instance where a poor,
old actress went to him in distress. In
former years lie had known her father
and respected liitn. Touched by her ap
jx'al for assistance, lie lent her a large
sum of money, with the almost certain
'■nowledge that he would never get it
hack again. It was never made public;
no one knew of it hut the receiver and
myself. The Forrest home has done much
good, and is likely to do more; and those
actors who either by age or by infirmi
ties have been debarred the privilege of
following their profession will naturally
be grateful for this rich legacy.
Even in the days of his theatrical fame
and prosperity Forrest was an austere
man, and as he grew older he became
morbidly misanthropical, holding him
self aloof from all but his most intimate
friends. The latter part cf his lifo was
embittered, too, by illness and the loss
of public favor. Until the closing years
of his career he had been blessed with
perfect health; this became suddenly
shattered, and the unexpected attack
wrecked his dramatic power. He might
have borne the stroke of illness, but to
one whoso imperious nature could not
brook the faintest slight the loss of pub
lic admiration was a heavy blow; one,
too, that would have shocked a wiser
and more even tempered man than Ed
win Forrest. Still he toiled on, and was
unjustly censured for acting past his
powers. But what was he to do? His
physicians told him that he must act if
he would live; the wheel must lie kept
in motion or it would fall. His perform
ances in the larger cities were given to
empty houses, while bright and youth
ful aspirants were drawing from him all
his old adherents.
Ilia former friends forsook him, and
naturally, too: they could not bear the
pain of witnessing their favorite of other
days declining night by night. No actor
can hope to hold an interest in his audi
ence merely by what ho lias done in
years gone by; in acting it is the present
that the public have-to deal with, not
the past. To witness ago and decrepi
tude struggling to conceal their weak
ness in the mimic scene is too painful.
The greater our affection for the artist
the less can we hear to see him suffer
and go down.
In the vain hope of struggling on, the
old tragedian sought "tlio provinces."
Here the people flocked in crowds to see
the great actor that they had heard of
from their childhood; not with the faint
est iiopo that t hey would find the grand
eur of the past, but front tho curious de
sire to see a ruined tower just before it
falls.
Nothing Saved.
A little boy was walking with his
father one day. As they trudged along
the father saw an old horseshoe lying in
the road, and bade the boy pick it up
and take it along.
Tho lad looked at the shoe carelessly
and replied that it was not worth carry
ing, whereupon the father said nothing
more, but quietly picked it up himself.
He pretty soon sold the old iron for a
penny at a roadside smithy and invested
the coin in cherries.
The day was hot, and presently the
man noticed that iiis son was beginning
to cast longing eyes upon the box of
cherries, but did not offer any to his son.
He made pretense of eating them, and
dropped one to the ground as if by acci
dent.
The boy picked it up quickly and ate
it with a relish.
A little further on another dropped,
and this, too, the lad lost 110 time in se
curing. So, one by one, all the cherries
were dropped and picked up.
"Well," remarked the father, when
the last one had been eaten, "it did not
pay to pick up that horseshoe perhaps,
but if you had stooped once for that you
wouldn't have needed to bend twenty
times for the cherries."
The moral of the story is an old one,
but more generally known than heeded:
"Lazy folks take the most pains."—
Youth's Companion.
A Hospitable Horse.
A remarkable degree of intelligence
and kindness to a stable companion is
shown by a horse in Boston. One of tire
mounted police officers leaves Ids horse
in tiro stable connected with the station
on Blue Hill avenue, near Dudley street,
while he answers to the roll call at noon
and again at 0 o'clock. The officer fas
tens his horse to the post forming one
corner at the head of another horse's
stall, and us soon as the animal is tied,
the other picks up a mouthful of hay,
forces it through the iron grating about
his stall and waits until his guest has
eaten it. Then he repeats the operation
and continues his hospitality until the
officer returns for his horse. He began
to do this without any suggestion from
the men, and he does it twice a day,
much to the satisfaction of his visitor.
His performance has attracted consider
able attention in the neighborhood, and
Iris politeness lias won him many friends.
—Boston Letter.
The Miserly Shall.
A Teheran correspondent of The Lon
don Times, in a long article on "The
Shall and nis Government," writing of
the personal character of Nasr-ed Din,
says; "tiis least attractive feature is a
miserliness which induces him to iioard
large sums of money and bullion, a frac
tion of which, devoted to the practical
regeneration of his country, would make
his name live in history. In addition to
the masses of jewels contained in the
royal treasury, he has a private fortune,
stowed in vaults or elsewhere deposited,
which is known to consist of at least
three millions Hterling. This treasure is
being continually recruited by the pres
ents received on the smallest possiblei
provocation from any minister, noble,,
official or merchant possessed of large
means. Meanwhile the country lies im
poverished, and progress is indefinitely
delayed, owing to the alleged absence of
native capital."
TIIK BOYS OF CONGRESS.
THE PAGES AT THE ICAPITOL AND
WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.
Precocious Youth* Who Know a Great
Deal About Politic*—Their Pay and Tlielr
Perquisite** —"Tipping" In Large Figure*.
Pag*** W ho Have Klsen.
The pages of the senate and house are
a sort of understudy to the statesmen.
Each has some senator or member whom
he admires and imitates, and it is not be
yond the range of his ambition that he
may some day occupy a seat in congress
himself. They have a sort of fellow
feeling for Senator Gorman and other
statesmen who have risen from a seat on
the steps by the vice president's desk to
a chair in the legislative body. All the
pages are statesmen in their way, and
are up in polities. Their fate is depend
ent upon the welfare of their members,
and tliey rise and fall with their party.
In a Republican senate the boys are all
Republicans, and in the house they come
and go as the majorities shift.
The senate pages have a more secure
tenure and hold themselves to be of a
little more importance than the boys
who wait on the representatives. But
the latter profess contempt for a class of
young individuals who don't take the
chances of politics at every election, and
pride themselves upon their own close
alliance to their party's vicissitudes.
They look upon the knee breeched at
taches of the senate as old fogies without
knowledge of wire pulling. They are
themselves au fait on all matters politi
cal.
They are the "legs" of the congressmen,
but they have heads of their own that
are crowded with schemes to their full
capacity. They are not usually well up
in book learning, but aro well up on
affairs of state. They enter public life
at the mature age of 10 or 11 years, upon
a salary of §2.50 a day and such per
quisites as fall into their hands, and, if
their political fortunes are good, remain
in service until they aro no longer boys.
Then they go out into the world to be
come politicians, drummers, railroad
presidents or congressmen, or else take a
downward turn. They usually enter the
Held of politics, as they are familiar with
all its branches. They are fully equipped
for the position of senator or representa
tive, but deficient in almost all other use
ful knowledge.
The average page of 14 or 15 years old
counts in his wardrobe a beaver hat, a
pair of knee breeches, a cigar case, a
Lord Chumley overcoat and a horn
handled cane. Many of these have a
urilliant career during their tender years
and have gone through ail excesses of
mature manhood before they are old
enough to vote at any well regulated
election
On the house side there are thirty
pages, fifteen who sit on the right of the
speaker to wait on the Democrats and
fifteen on I he other side to respond to the
call of the Republicans. They are under
the command of two chief pages, who
have been promoted from the ranks, and
a one armed captain, who is chief in
command.
The chief page of the senate side is
almost as old as the senate itself and is
custodian of the snuff box and all the
antiquities and reminiscences of that
body; while the pages who are under
command of Capt. Basset t are usually
very small hoys
When a senator claps his hands half a
dozen small boys rush out frotu different
directions, coming to collision in the
center aisle, and the one who sustains
the shock and picks himself up quickest
uolds the secret conference witli the sen
ator and llien with a pompous air starts
off on a private mission—to the document
room for a bill or to the library for a
hook
it takes almost as much political in
fluence to lie a senate page in congress
as to get a foreign mission. The usual
age is from 10 to 15. and very few remain
after they are 18
Some of tliern, after outgrowing their
positions, have done well in the world,
but many have acquired dissipated hab
its which have ended their career disas
trously at an early age. Familiar con
spicuous examples of success are those
of Senator Gorman, ex-Itepresentative
Scott, of Erie, and the late Representa
tive Townshend, of Illinois, who became
eminent in public life. Others have been
quite as successful in business or profes
sional life, though not as well known.
Pages usually make considerable money
and make it easily, and they speud it
with freedom Besides their salaries
they turn a good many honest dollars.
They complain in these days that they
have not the opportunities they used to
have for making extra money. Rich
and liberal members often pay them
large *>UIIIS for small services. In the
house each page has to tile the records
for ten members.
This is part of the duty for which they
are paid by the government, but eacli
member, at the end of the session, usual
ly gives the page who tends to his tile
from §5 to §lO. If a member sends a
page off to buy a theatre ticket or make
some small purchase lie often gives him
a §5 or §lO hill and lets him keep the
change of the transaction. Some of the
rich representatives and senators are in
the habit of making presents of money
to the pages at Christmas time and at
the end of the session.
THE AUTOGRAPH BUSINESS.
The uutograph business used to he very
profitable. Every morning the pages
would go around from member to mem
ber as they reached the hall and solicit
their signatures in big autograpli hooks.
A book containing ail the names was
worth from §5 to §lO to the page who
had it. They found a ready sale for
these books as fast us they could fill
them, and it did not take long to get all
the signatures. One of the regular duties
of a member was to sign his name about
thirty times each morning. An auto
grapli book is seldom seen in either the
house or senate now. The fact is that
there are not now as many chances for
the pages to make money as there used
to he. The now member is the game
hunted by the page.
On his first appearance in congress the
member is lilteral, if he ever intends to
be so at all. The young men rush to wait
on him then, and if he does not respond
quickly they know that lie is not going
to he a paying investment for them, and
they are less assiduous in their attention
afterward. Asa member grows older in
service he discovers so many ways of in
creasing his expenses above the limit of
his salary without giving away money
just to impress these little men that he
gradually gets out of the habit of "tip
ping." The pages, too, have suffered
through the graceless conduct of Si loot t.
The memlters at the opening of this ses
sion did not feel that they could afford
to be quite as liberal as usual.
Another source of revenue 'for the
hoys is from lite distribution of circulars
and pamphlets through the house. Near
ly every great project that is brought to
the attention of congress from the out
side is supported, and generally opposed,
too, by the circulation among the mem
bers of pamphlets and various docu
ments. These are left with the door
keeper to he placed on the desks of the
members. If they are merely left with
the request that they be distributed they
do not appear on the desks. If the in
terested party comes back and leaves a
considerable fee for the pages be will
find the desks piled up with his circulars
the next morning.—Washington Star.
The Human Eye.
Science gives us interesting details
about what the human eye has been and
what it may become. The Vendas of
India, which are the most ancient writ
ten documents, attest that at times most
remote, but still recorded iu history,
only two colore were known—black and
red. A very long time elapsed before
the eye could perceive the color yellow,
and a still longer time before green could
be distinguished; and it is remarkable
that in tiie most ancient language tiie
term which designated yellow insensibly
passed to the signification of green. The
Greeks had, according to the generally
received opinion, she perception of colors
very highly developed, and yet authors
of a more recent date assure us that in
the tirue of Alexander the Great the
Greek painters knew but four colors,
viz.: white, black, red and yellow.
The words to designate blue and violet
were wanting to the Greeks in the most
ancient times of their history, they call
ing these colors gray and black. It is
thus the colors in the rainbow were only
distinguished gradually, and the great
Aristotle only knew four of them. It is
a well known fact that when the colors
of the prism are photographed there re
mains outside the limit of the blue and
violet in the spectrum a distinct impres
sion which our eyes do not recognize as
a color Physiologists tell us that it is
reasonable to suppose that tis the color
organ becomes more highly developed,
and even before the human eye becomes
perfect, this outside hand will evolve
into a color perfectly discernible.—Phila
delphia Record.
I'apuia ami Tliullin In Cancer.
The anonymous correspondent of Tiie
Lancet, whose suggestion of the com
bined used of papain and thall in in can
cer was noticed in a recent number of
Tiie Loudon Medical Recorder, turns out
to be L>r. J. Mortimer Granville. lie lias
since supplemented bis first statement by
further communication, in which he says
that if the solvent or digestive power of
the papain is to bo brought to bear on
the morbid growth it must not be ex
hausted by being first mixed with food.
He therefore recommends very frequent
administration of the papain and thallin,
and their combination in the form of
pills Theaini is to get absorption of the
drug, not local action on the stomach.
In cancer of that organ Dr. Mortimer
Granville gives, besides the pills, papain
suspended in water with thallin and an
alkali.
Willi the view of further preventing
sxhaustion of the papain he directs that
the patient shall he fed as exclusively as
possible on a vegetable diet, and that the
pills shall be taken before meals or in
the interval between them. He has not
found that the thallin given as described
exerts any injuriously depressing effect
on the organism us a whole. The vital
ity of the morbid growth seems to be
depressed by saturation with the thallin
aud papuin locally; this is effected by
applying a strung paste of two drugs in
combination, or, where practicable, by
their inunction. The results obtained so
far tire said to be encouraging, and
"make it clear that the method will de
serve a full and fair trial by the profes
sion.-'—London Medical Recorder.
Moon .Myths.
In southern seas sailors warn intrepid
"land lubbers," who persist in sleepiug
in open air, to always woo the dreamy
god under an awning; otherwise what
might have been a refreshing sleep may
terminate iu temporary loss of sight. 1
say "temporary" for the reason that it
lias never turned out to he a permanent
calamity, although it frequently causes
much trouble, and gives the victim a
scare he remembers the remainder of
his life.
11l regard t< 1110 way the moon affects
the weather many curious facts are
recorded. It is an old saying that "one
Saturday moon change is enough for
seven years." The nearer the time of
the moon's change to midnight, says an
old saw, the fairer will the weather be
the seven days following.
The nearer to midday the phases of the
moon happen the more foul the weather
may he expected. The space for these
calculations, according to the "weather
wise," is two hours before and two hours
after midnight and noon. If the new
moon stands on its point, "so that the
strap of a powder horn would not catcli
on its 'horn,' " there will bo much wet
weather. If the new moon lies flat on
"its back" it will hold all dampness and
a dry spell may be expected. Farmers
who plant and reap "in the moon"
always plant thoso vegetables whose
roots are used as fopd in the decline or
last quarter.—John W. Wright in St.
Louis Republic.
